Vogel-Fulcher analysis of relaxor dielectrics with the tetragonal tungsten bronze structure : Ba6MNb9O30 (M = Ga, Sc, In)
No full textIn-depth analysis of the relaxor behaviour of Ba6MNb9O30 (M= Ga, Sc, In) tetragonal tungsten bronze (TTB) ceramics was carried out. Powder x-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy were performed in order to confirm the formation of desired phases and to determine the microstructure. Low-temperature dielectric spectroscopy was used in order to characterise the dielectric properties of these materials; the degree of relaxor behaviour were investigated in relation with the increase of ionic radius of the M-cation on the B-site of the TTB structure. The dynamics of dielectric relaxation of dipoles was studied by fitting the dielectric permittivity data to the Vogel-Fulcher (VF) model in order to monitor the reproducibility and validity of the physical results. Restrictions to the VF fit were attempted besides the regular “free-fit” by constraining some of the fundamental relaxation parameters to physically sensible values. We show that Vogel-Fulcher fits are very sensitive to the fitting range resulting in a large range of fundamental parameters for the dielectric relaxation processes, and that the restriction of the frequency domain due to experimental noise or to instrumentation limits has a dramatic influence on the values obtained.Peer reviewe

Vogel-Fulcher like dielectric response and variable range hopping behaviour in molybdenum bronze
No full textInternational audienceWe report on transport and dielectric properties of molybdenum bronze. Dielectric constant measurements in blue bronze samples show a low temperature anomaly exhibiting two distinct relaxational processes. One of these peaks follows a Vogel- Fulcher law and is discussed in comparison with ferroelectric relaxors. The temperature dependence of the conductivity in the ohmic regime as well as the non-linear transport properties for ET , E , EpT can be well described by a variable range hopping mechanism in both Blue and Red Bronze. We show that transport and dielectric properties are both very sensitive to the heat treatment applied to the sample

Etude de la viscosité de cisaillement des liquides sous-refroidis jusqu'à leur température de transition vitreuse. Analyse des variations thermiques des coefficients de Vogel-Fulcher. - I. Carbonate de propylène
No full textThe shear viscosity of propylene carbonate has been measured in the interval 10-3-1010 P1, from 343 to 157 K, by means of three methods : capillary, rotational and penetroviscometry. The local analysis (2nd order expansion) of the viscosity temperature dependence shows that the Vogel-Fulcher coefficients have a continuum spectrum. This result may be explained by non linear variations of the free-volume in the Cohen-Grest percolation model.Nous avons mesuré la viscosité de cisaillement du carbonate de propylène dans l'intervalle 10-3-10 10 P1, entre 343 et 157 K, à l'aide de trois techniques : écoulement capillaire, rotation et pénétrométrie. L'analyse locale (au 2e ordre) des variations thermiques de la viscosité montre que les coefficients de Vogel-Fulcher forment un spectre continu. Ce résultat peut être interprété par les variations non linéaires du volume libre du modèle de percolation de Cohen et Grest
Diagnostic decisions in child assessment (Fulcher-Rood et al., 2019)
No full textPurpose: The current study used a case review diagnostic assessment task to examine the diagnostic decisions speech-language pathologists (SLPs) working in the United States made after reviewing child language cases.Method: Fourteen SLPs were given 5 case studies that presented either congruent or incongruent results between standardized testing and informal measures. After reviewing the assessment data, SLPs were asked to make a diagnostic decision.Results: Unanimous consensus regarding diagnostic decisions was found when the assessment data were congruent. When the data were incongruent, unanimous consensus was not achieved. Standardized testing seemed to guide the diagnostic decision. This pattern of reliance on standardized testing was evident even when 80% of SLPs reviewed informal language data. In 97% of cases, a standardized test was used to guide clinical decision making.Conclusion: Three patterns of clinical decision making in child language assessment emerged: (a) use of both standardized testing and informal measures, (b) a reported concern tool as a 1st step in the process, and (c) standardized testing as the most influential data for guiding diagnostic decisions. Although this study provides initial evidence regarding the process of diagnostic decision making, future studies should examine decision making in real time to further validate the implicit rules used during decision making.Supplemental Material S1.

An evidence based clinical aid for cardiovascular disease
No full textCopyright to Australian Family Physician. Reproduced with permission. Permission to reproduce must be sought from the publisher, The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners.Cardiovascular disease is the commonest cause of mortality in Australia, accounting for more than 30% of deaths. Hypertension, diabetes and lipid disorders account for 15.6% of the total problems encountered in general practice. Therefore all doctors should be familiar with well known risk factors for cardiovascular disease, as well as the benefits of interventions with them.Brian R McAvoy; Greg R Fulcher; John V Amerena; Greg W Conner; John F Beltrame; Graeme J Hankey; Anthony C Keech; Brian L Lloyd; Michael L Neale; Carol A Pollock; Krishna Sudhir; Robert D Waltham; Malcolm J Wes
